The part arrived swiftly enough and looks to be of reasonable quality. Unfortunately, I have not been able to remove the 'PLS' stainless steel, with wood effect top, gear knob, from my 1991 Eunos Roadster. It simply will not unscrew despite the best efforts of the strongest member of the family. There seems to be no access point for WD40, or reasonable purchase for, e.g., a stilson wrench. I am therefore unable to give a full or fair assessment of this part to date. Perhaps this is a salutary warning for potential buyers who have similar hardware to myself. (On a lighter note, which perhaps will give some amusement to readers, I needed a replacement because whilst driving last winter, the gearlever in fifth, a large mouse nibbled a 2p sized hole in the gaiter from below, and jumped out onto my lap).
